Summary/Abstract: Television viewers who have watched the normalisation-era series Thirty Cases of Major Zeman will undoub te dly recall the episode entitled Copperplate. It depicts a reckless group of supporters of the old order printing fake food stamps in an effort to not only get rich but also to undermine the hated people’s democratic regime. An essential element of the vicious plan was of course to cause maximum damage to honest working people.
